'''Daphla''' (or ''Dafla'') '''Hills''' is a tract of hilly country on the border of western [[Arunachal]] and [[Assam]] occupied by an independent tribe called Daphla. It lies to the north of the [[Tezpur]] and North [[Lakhimpur district|Lakhimpur]] subdivisions, and is bounded on the west by the [[Aka Hills]] and on the east by the [[Abor Hills|Abor Range]]. In 1872 a party of independent Daphlas suddenly attacked a colony of their own tribesmen, who had settled at Amtola in British territory, and carried away forty-four captives to the hills. This led to the Daphla expedition of 1874, when a force of 1,000 troops released the prisoners and reduced the tribe to submission.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4LZN5ewzQ8AC&q=Daphla+Hills&pg=PA6|title=Geography and Development of Hill Areas: A Case Study of Arunachal Pradesh|last1=Sharma|first1=N.|last2=Shukla|first2=Surya Pal|date=1992-01-01|publisher=Mittal Publications|isbn=9788170993834|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{EB1911|wstitle=Daphla Hills|volume=7|page=825|inline=1}}</ref><br />
